User reviews and comments
If the algorithm you choose is strong enough, your brain should be more secure than any software.
Even if we lose the card; passwords are safe since you need to know the other information.
Passwords can be generated easily, and we can copy and paste or use auto-fill. Need to memorize only one master password.
